Spectrum
for Living is a nonprofit organization that provides services for
adults with developmental disabilities. We have group homes and other
living opportunities
for our residents as well as adult training centers and other support
services for individuals with developmental disabilities who live in the
community with their families. One of our Bergen County group homes
is located in Maywood at 182 Prospect Avenue.
Our group homes are fully staffed 24 hours a day. While most of our
residents opt to attend workshops during the day, some prefer to remain
at home for a variety of reasons and we respect their choices.
Veronica, who lives at the Maywood group home, is one
such person who has opted to retire from the day program that she has
attended for many years. This choice has left her with many daytime
hours to fill while her housemates are at their day programs. We are
hoping that the faith community within Maywood
will have some parishioners with a few daytime hours to be friendly
visitors for Veronica. One hour a week can make a difference in her
life ! Veronica is an adult functioning person who likes to read,
paint, do arts and crafts, and play board games and
card games. If you are able to get the word out about our need among
your parishioners, it would be a great help to us in our efforts to give
Veronica the joy of friendship !

I can be reached at our main office in River Vale @201-358-8000 x220. It will be a pleasure to answer any questions or thoughts that you may have on how to fill
our need.

Thank you so much for your time .
